Remember when the Biden White House insisted that they would move forward with the release of $6 billion to Iran because the money was marked for "humanitarian assistance" and then put that on pause after the terrorist attacks in Israel?
REPORTER: "What is the status of the $6 billion that Iran was set to have access to?"

It's almost as if this administration knew that nobody was buying that spin, but it's not stopping them from trying to send aid to other places that terrorists control.
In Israel today, President Biden pledged $100 million in U.S. aid to Gaza and the West Bank and guaranteed that the assistance would be used for humanitarian purposes and in no way intercepted by Hamas (my eyes are already rolling).

Does anybody NOT think that Hamas is going to end up swiping the aid?
AKA funding more Hamas attacks.

I have trouble believing that won't be the end result.

He has to be driving this country into the ground on purpose at this point. Throwing around money in every direction while bidenomics is a complete disaster.

It must be comforting for people in Maui and in East Palestine, Ohio to see the American president throwing so much money around overseas.
This is the White House's statement:
President Biden announced today that the United States is providing $100 million in humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. This funding will help support over a million displaced and conflict-affected people with clean water, food, hygiene support, medical care, and other essential needs. The United States provides humanitarian assistance through trusted partners including UN agencies and international NGOs.
Civilians are not to blame and should not suffer for Hamas’s horrific terrorism. Civilian lives must be protected and assistance must urgently reach those in need. We will continue to work closely with partners in the region to stress the importance of upholding the law of war, supporting those who are trying to get to safety or provide assistance, and facilitating access to food, water, medical care, and shelter.
Hamas is probably cheering that statement. Did the White House even try to get Hamas to agree to tie the aid to the release of some hostages -- some of whom are American citizens?
When the House is back in session, can we look to slash the "humanitarian" funds please? https://t.co/Sy9oY2ZHLj

Literally his only idea every single time is spending money we don’t have https://t.co/3E5KUGZ4Rb

It's either that or blaming climate change, on which Biden also wants to spend more money we don't have.
For once, I hope this goes to the Clinton Foundation so that almost none of this will get to its recipients. Because otherwise we will be literally funding terrorism. https://t.co/V20a48WXuZ

Now we are giving $100mm to terrorists. I bet they will be buying milk, cookies and jello. https://t.co/ZoQ7C2MGu2

And guns and rockets... but mostly guns and rockets.
What about assistance for Maui and East Palestine Ohio?

Like I always say, when Biden took office he promised that the days of "America First" policies were over, and he was NOT joking.
